    PDP machines are actually quite useful as someone brought them up on here
    not long ago. they have to be big from the looks of them.

    for editing, I use Vi and Emacs. Vi is way older than DOS ;)

    Currently looking for some older machines but can't find any. I don't want
    to use Ebay so I'm trying to at my college get some of their older stuff.

    Looking for these right now:

    A WORKING 286 machine with the software for it.

    A 386 working with NIC, at least 500 MB HD and monitor and mouse.

    A few 486s because I find them useful. We have one at work I use every
    weekend I'm there to play Doom and Wolfenstein

    I'd like a couple of these though with NICs, Monitors, A mouse, keyboard,
     needs to play Doom

    I have this for these machines:

    PC-DOS 6.3 (All original, and it works well, I got it to install on a 2.40
    GHz processor box with 128 MB Nvidia card and an 80 GB HD and 512 RAM. It
    didn't find all of it but it booted. DOS looks cool on a 17 inch monitor
    lol.

    Windows 1.0

    Windows 2

    Windows 3

    Windows 9X

    Free BSD

    Linux
